Tag Archives: winter gardens

Last week, I planted winter vegetables: rutabaga, turnips, carrots, beets, kale and chard. Most of them have germinated already, their tiny leaves a contrast to the dark soil. If you have garden space and interest, you still have time to plant some winter vegetables. Here’s a column I wrote last July with more ideas. It’s here on the blog under Green Living Columns, Vegetables: https://lopezislandkitchengardens.wordpress.com/plant-your-winter-roots/ Think about it! If you plant some rutabaga now, you’ll be able to harvest it this winter, even in the snow.
